circus peanuts

[allirae]

This might seem like a really bizaar question, but does anyone know who carries the multi-colored circus peanuts? I need the white ones for a cupcake decoration and can't seem to find them anywhere. Online is not an option as I need them before the 3rd of April and I don't need the bulk sizes they carry online. I've already checked Kroger, Ingles, CVS, WalMart, and Dollar General to no avail. Any help would be extremely appreciated!!

See if you can look up "Yummy's", ten thousand pounds of candy in Kittery, ME. They do ship, and have small amts. Check 'em out. You might get lucky.

Thanks so much. They do have them - and in small amounts. But you have to have a minimum order of $20 plus shipping for them to ship. My parents actually live in Portland (how much of a coincidence is that?) They're going to see if they can get there and ship them themselves, but I don't know if it will be in time. I'll keep looking.

This has nothing to do with your question just an observation....I live in Georgia and my mom lives in Auburn, ME! Are you originally from Maine too?

I'm not originally from Maine. Actually, my husband and I are originally from Michigan. We moved to Dawsonville in '04. My parents moved to Maine a few years ago (Dad got a job at the Portland paper - used to work for the Detroit News/FreePress). Then, strangely enough, my in-laws moved to Maine last year. My FIL was offered the position of Seminary President at the Bangor Theological Seminary. Strange, huh?

They make them in different colors? I've never seen that. I might have to look in to this since BF and I use them as sugary road snacks all the time.

Do you have one of those candy stores that sell in bulk near you? Or maybe Costco or BJs type of place?

I hope you find your peanuts!

Totally off topic, but I know exactly where Yummy's is....I live about 45 minutes from them...SMALL WORLD!!

I'd offer to help, but I'm afraid I found this post too late

Thanks to everyone who offered help and ideas! My parents actually did end up going to Yummies and shipping me some. The cupcakes turned out very cute - thanks again!
